On its own, Fabiano Scherner’s decision to let Paige VanZant go back out for round 3 against Jessica-Rose Clark at UFC Fight Night: Stephens vs. Choi isn’t a particularly remarkable one. Despite having told her corner that she had broken her arm earlier in the fight, VanZant was still active in a back-and-forth bout, and actually won the last round, fighting behind a dynamic kicking game from range.
And, while Scherner admitted in a post-bout interview with MMA Fighting that he somewhat regretted not taking the injury to his athlete more seriously, VanZant herself was apparently quick to back up his decision to let the fight continue.
